From Rejection to Reinvention: How PATH WATER Became a Movement


Listen Later

Ever wonder what it actually takes to turn hundreds of "no's" into a category-defining business?

From rejection after rejection to building the fastest-growing water company in the world, Shadi Bakour's journey is the ultimate story of perseverance, focus, and execution. Recorded live at 2025 Business Mastery, this episode features Shadi, Co-founder and CEO of PATHWATER, sharing with Tony how a simple idea became a category-defining brand.

Discover how Shadi navigated massive challenges—selling water door-to-door, scaling into over 60,000 stores, and eliminating more than 500 million plastic bottles—by staying resourceful, mission-driven, and authentic. This conversation dives deep into the mindset, resilience, and strategies that separate founders who quit from those who redefine their industries.
